Orbi AX6000 (RBK853) and Motorola MM1002 Moca Adapter
Hi everyone: Now that I upgraded to Verizon Fios 1 Gig service, I was very excited to install my new Orbi AX6000 (1 router and 2 satellites) as my first generation Eero's didn't support speeds fa...
The home is about 4000 sq ft with another 1000 in the basement.
The RSR is one one side of the home in the basement. The RSR1 is about the midpoint of the home on the main floor (goes up one level and otherwise about 30-40 feet away). The RSR2 is on the oppositte side of the RSR on the top floor and about 40-50 feet away from the RSR1.
I am going to run an Ethernet wire from my Verizon router to the main floor and see if that helps, plus ordered 2 more satellites to scatter if I still need more unless anyone has other suggestions?
Lets use RBR for the router and RBS for the satellites. :smileywink:
I have a 5000 sq ft home with basement. RBR is up on 2nd level and 1 RBS is on first level and 2nd RBS is in the basement on opposite side from where the RBR is on that side of the home. RBS are all wired here...

Sorry, I'm still learning the lingo as a noob! But will do!

Sounds like we have similarly sized homes and our set up completely oppositte from one another except that you have them all wires. My RBR is in the basement (until I run the Ethernet to main floor) because I only have coax runs through the house. I assume you either had or ran Ethernet to connect your satellites to RBR (or daisy chained)?
Running Ethernet to my main level will not be too difficult but it would be very challenging to run it up to the top floor (either from basement or from the Main level RBR that I intend to set up). Hopefully the network will improve and throwing on 2 more satellites will take care of things.

Yes, I have ran ethernet cables from the 2nd level area where most of my elentronics and networking hardware is located down to the 1st level and basement area. I have a few LAN switches in place to help with connetions and wired devices including a switch in the basement where the one RBS is ethernet connected.
Running Ethernet to my main level will not be too difficult but it would be very challenging to run it up to the top floor (either from basement or from the Main level RBR that I intend to set up). Hopefully the network will improve and throwing on 2 more satellites will take care of things. Just be sure distance from the RBR and each other is at a good distance. Too close and can cause problems. I think you should first bring up the RBR to the 1st floor then test with your current RBS making adjustments were needed. You may not have a need for any more RBS...
